Craig Bromfield was just 13 years old when Brian Clough, on a whim, took him and his older brother, Aaron, in. They came from Southwick, a depressed area of Sunderland, where they lived with their abusive stepfather, and from where they longed to escape. After initially meeting Clough while out begging for money, Clough later invited the brothers to stay at his house. From there a relationship formed that would see Craig living with the Cloughs for nine years, where he was a first-hand witness to the many aspects of Clough’s character—his gruffness, his humour, his big-heartedness.
